Abstract
In January 2009 the Consultative Group on the Past released its report of recommendations for Northern Ireland to address its legacy of conflict. The two main recommendations were the Legacy Commission, designed to investigate and uncover information on some of the most high-profile incidents of the Troubles, and the recommendation that families of those who lost their lives to sectarian violence be awarded a recognition payment of £12,000. The proposals, especially the payment, created a firestorm of controversy and much acrimony. This paper examines whether the role of procedural justice can help to determine why the efforts of the Consultative Group have generated such controversy and whether this latest attempt to address transitional justice in Northern Ireland has any chance of success.
